Day 92

Yesterday's craft was fun, so I decided to do it again today, just with a different size glass container and red paint instead of blue!  Stan helped me with a different design as well.  We wrapped the masking tape on the top and bottom and around the middle at an angle.  This can be used as another candle holder or something else, not too sure yet!

Here it is finished:


I was trying to get another shot of the design, but the camera wouldn't focus:


And here is a shot from the inside, just because I liked the way it looked!:

Day 91

I wasn't feeling too crafty today, so Stan jumped in and helped me because he is supportive and wonderful and cute too.  :)

We made a candle holder, using a glass container we had from somewhere.  I seriously wonder where we get some of this stuff, it just shows up, or so it seems anyway.  We painted it blue, added black sand and a tea candle and it's really gorgeous actually.  The paint finish makes the light come through in a freaky kind of way, almost reminds me of walking the beach at night in Florida, with the moon peeking out from behind some clouds.  It's a nice memory to have with this craft.

Here it is finished, sort of hard to see since it's dark and the candle is lit:


Here are the supplies, and the glass container all ready painted, forgot to take a "before" picture.  The supplies were the glass container, blue acrylic paint and masking tape:


Here is the inside, full of black sand and the tea candle:


And another "after" picture, with the candle lit:
